SADNESS

Michael Edwards

 

 

SADNESS 

 

Sadness showed

in her face:

 so silky smooth

and wet with tears.

 

As mushrooms

in spring time.

    Love the artistic comparison used in these few clever lines Michael..... great abstract which brings sadness to another dimension.

    • Michael Edwards

      Thanks Fay. I had the painting in the house for a while (I change round the art work indoors on a regular basis) before returning it to the studio where it was bought along with two others by the same purchaser.

      Brilliant write Michael.

      It is great that you have sold the Abstract i have seen it before and as you know I am enthralled by your abstract art.

    • Poetic Dan

      Very interesting juxtaposition of Painting 'n Poem Uncle Mike ~ which you may not have fully appreciated ! Im back from the field trip so my visual senses (and imagination) are high ! When I first saw the painting (as orientated) I saw a a Young Lady (one track mind ?) with her face to the pillow ~ floating in space and covered by an ephemeral blanket ! Her arm & hand are also visible ! How would I title it ? SADNESS ! WHY ? It shows in her face ~ silky wet with tears ~ as (white) mushrooms in spring time ~ TOUCHE ! Of course you knew that and (as so often) were just teasing ! ?

        Me? I know nothing! Flattered that you should see so much in my work. Thanks so much for all your great observations.

        Such sadness, but the analogy brings forth a smile, for a mushroom is to be plucked!
        mmmm mushrooms and black puddin!

          we have a small concrete mushroom in the garden which is the home of a fairy we call Enid - kitsch, mad but a bit of fun.

          I do like mushrooms but they Must be freshly cooked in butter and properly seasoned.

          • Michael Edwards

            And toast, and sausages, and tomatoes, and eggs, and baked beans, and rabbits tongue, and kidneys. Mmmmm. Oh - and real coffee.

            I can visualize image of her in this abstraction, a great piece.
            I can't paint in color, can't see the depth, so I stay with charcoal and minimalism.

            • Michael Edwards

              Charcoals great - I draw with it regularly - thanks Suresh.

              How abstract can ya get

              Delicious with a swirl of cream and maybe a sprinkling of croutons... N

              Sadness, yes, as a dolphin swims in a polluted sea. No, I don't see a woman's face. Mushrooms, yes in a gravy over steak, any time of year.
              Michael, this short poem and awesome art are a dynamic duo. For all the "sadness" seen by everyone in the artwork, there is also a brightness of hope , I guess, that is present also. Just great stuff. - Phil A.
